Locally accessing the Onboard Administrator
IMPORTANT: Only use the serial port during the initial setup of the OA network. Disconnect after
setup and do not use the serial port as a console interface.
You can access the Onboard Administrator locally through a serial port connector on the rear of
the Onboard Administrator module during the initial set up of the OA network. Use a laptop or
desktop computer as a serial console to communicate with the Onboard Administrator. A laptop
or desktop connected to the Onboard Administrator serial port requires a null-modem cable. The
minimum connection to an external console is pins 2, 3, and 5.
